Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Ah? It's really him, this... How is this possible? What should I do?" Chang Ning heard Feng Sizhe confirm the other party's identity, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a headache. Although he was not a cadre who flattered his superiors, he did know what the consequences would be if the leader didn't take good care of the people he was entrusted to take care of. As the saying goes, officials are always responsible for their own actions. In this position, he had to follow the rules here. If Lu Zhuo was really taken down like this, it would obviously be a shame for the leader, and he would have a hard time explaining it.

After the initial panic, Feng Sizhe slowly calmed down. This was due to his personality. He also knew that panicking would not solve any problems. On the contrary, panicking would only make things more and more troublesome. The only way now was to find a solution as soon as possible. "Mayor, don't worry. From what I know about Comrade Lu Zhuo, he shouldn't do such a thing. I think this was probably a trap set by someone, and Comrade Lu Zhuo accidentally fell into it."

"Oh, you know this Lu Zhuo. You are sure there is a story behind this matter." After hearing what Feng Sizhe said, Chang Ning calmed down. He thought that they were colleagues who had worked in two counties before. They should understand each other. And since he said so, he must have his own reasons.

"Well, I know Comrade Lu Zhuo, and I can basically believe that this matter is not caused by his character. I think it is better to do this. I will go back to Qiu County as soon as possible and find out all the problems. If necessary, I also need to meet with him, so that I can clarify all the problems." Feng Sizhe thought about it. He would not solve any problems in the Municipal Party Committee. Now he only had to go back to Qiu County and meet the real person to know the truth.

"Yes, yes, you go back now. I will also go to Secretary Cai's office and tell him about the matter. You should find out the situation immediately after you go back. If this is true, then I think we don't need to care about it. No matter who he is or whose he works for, if he has done something wrong, he must be prepared to take responsibility for it. If he is wronged, then I will delay time with Secretary Cai psychologically. What do you think?" Chang Ning still has a strong sense of righteousness in his bones. In his opinion, if Lu Zhuo is really such a person and the matter is indeed done by him, then he will not care about anything and let the law handle everything. Of course, if the other party is wronged, then he will do his best to help buy time.

"Okay, I'll go back now. I hope the mayor can help the municipal party committee." Feng Sizhe really wanted to know the truth of this matter. Although he believed in Lu Zhuo, who could tell what would happen to a man after meeting a beautiful woman?

Just like that, Feng Sizhe and Chang Ning separated immediately and acted separately.

Back in the car downstairs of the city government, Feng Sizhe said to the driver, "Li Shuang, speed up and get to Qiu County immediately."

"Leader, you can't go back yet. It's Secretary Geng of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection calling." Chen Guangming, who had just gotten into the car and was sitting in the front passenger seat, heard the sound of a mobile phone. He picked up the phone and when he heard the name of the other party, he quickly handed the phone to Feng Sizhe.

At this time, Principal Geng called, and his intention was self-evident. Feng Sizhe took the mobile phone and said, "Hello, Secretary Geng, I am Feng Sizhe... Yes, yes... OK, I will go to your office right away, please wait." After hanging up the mobile phone, Feng Sizhe said to Li Shuang, "Let's go to the Municipal Party Committee Building first."

In Secretary Geng's office, Feng Sizhe was sitting there looking at a stack of photos on the table.

These photos were of Lu Zhuo and Na Xiaoyu beside a massage bed in the bathroom. Although the photos did not fully reveal the bodies of the man and woman, Lu Zhuo's head and the girl's head could still be seen clearly.

"Secretary Geng, where did these photos come from?" Feng Sizhe looked at these photos that were equivalent to irrefutable evidence and asked Principal Geng.

"This was sent to our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection by Yongyang Daily, asking whether it could be published. I just realized that the person in the photo was actually Lu Zhuo, so I called you. I guess you must be aware of this." Principal Geng said angrily.

Principal Geng had high hopes for Lu Zhuo before. His transfer from Dahu County to Qiu County was also with his consent, and he even contributed to the process. He thought that if this person went to help Feng Sizhe, Qiu County would have a new look. But now it seems that instead of dealing with the person who should be dealt with, he got himself into trouble. This is really disappointing.

"I just found out about this and was about to go back to Qiu County to investigate the matter. I didn't expect you to call me, so I came here right away." Feng Sizhe explained patiently. It was obviously wrong to say that he knew nothing about this matter, but the truth was that he only knew the basics. Before he even saw the photo, he didn't even know that Lu Zhuo was photographed.

Feng Sizhe was telling the truth and his attitude was sincere, all of which were seen by Principal Geng. "Well, Sizhe, I have to tell you, no matter what the cause and effect of this matter is, we must quickly investigate it and give our municipal party committee an explanation. Otherwise, I am afraid that we will not be able to suppress it for too long. I heard that there were many reporters present at the time, and the impact of the incident was very bad. You should also be very clear about the result. If you don't hurry up, I am afraid that even if you find out what happened later, it will be too late."

Principal Geng said this with the intention of supporting Feng Sizhe. He also knew that Lu Zhuo's going to Qiu County was actually someone else's idea. Now that Feng Sizhe's allies were like this, his situation would certainly not be very good. However, the current situation was really urgent, and he had to put pressure on Feng Sizhe.

Feng Sizhe certainly knew how much pressure he was under, and he also understood that Principal Geng had good intentions when he said this. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, I will do my best to investigate this matter as quickly as possible, but I hope Secretary Geng can make an exception and suppress these photos first. Can you give me a few days?"

"Well, that's it for now. I won't keep you here any longer. You should return to Qiu County as soon as possible. Remember, we'll contact each other by phone if anything happens."

Feng Sizhe left Geng Xiao's office, holding two photos he had just borrowed. He was extremely anxious and wanted to go back to Qiu County to see Lv Zhuo and ask for clarification. However, the more anxious he was, the more calls he received. This time, the caller was Lv Xianwen, member of the Standing Committee of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee and Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee.

"Hello, Secretary-General Lu, I am Feng Sizhe."

"Secretary Feng? How is Lu Zhuo's case going? I heard that..."

Before Lv Xianwen could continue, Feng Sizhe said, "Secretary-General Lv, don't worry. From what I know about Comrade Lv Zhuo, he is not that kind of person. Considering the current situation in Qiu County, I think he may have been framed by someone else."

"Oh, it's a frame-up, are you sure?" Lu Xianwen was obviously very concerned about his cousin. When he heard that Feng Sizhe might have framed him, he became a little excited.

"I can't be sure about this now, because I haven't met Lu Zhuo in person. But I'm rushing to Qiu County now, and I will be able to see him in an hour. At that time, all the truth will be revealed. And one thing I promise to Secretary-General Lu is that if Comrade Lu Zhuo did this himself, no one can protect him. If not, and someone did it intentionally, then I will definitely restore the truth." Facing the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, Feng Sizhe answered confidently. To put it bluntly, he had this confidence because he believed in one truth, that is, black is black and white is white.

"Okay, Comrade Feng Sizhe, I'm glad you said that. I also believe in your ability. I think I'll leave Lü Zhuo's matter to you. I'm relieved. If there's anything I can do, just call me and I'll cooperate with you." Lü Xianwen also knew that this was not the time to be anxious. First of all, if this was done by Lü Zhuo, his political career would basically be over. Even if someone framed him, it would be difficult to find out the truth in a short time. After thinking about it, he could only leave it to Feng Sizhe first, hoping that he would not be disappointed.

"Well, Secretary Lu, don't worry."

"Okay, I'm relieved. But I want to remind you of one thing. That woman is a key to this incident. If you want to get to the bottom of the matter, you must find that woman first. Only in this way can you have a basis for advancement and retreat." Lu Xianwen kindly reminded Feng Sizhe before hanging up the phone.

This reminder immediately made Feng Sizhe feel enlightened. That's right, the key to this case is not Lu Zhuo. He is now being pointed at by thousands of people. No matter how he explains, no one will believe him. On the contrary, the woman involved is much more important. Finding her can not only prove Lu Zhuo's innocence, but also follow this clue to find out who the real murderer is behind the scenes. This is the most important point.

But then again, is it so easy to find this woman? Secretary Geng has already said that after the reporter took the photo, the woman disappeared. This is the biggest doubt, and whether the woman can be found will determine whether the situation in Qiu County will change.
